After Patrick Wisdom provided two key at-bats in the Cubs’ 6-5, 11-inning victory Saturday against the Brewers, the team is bracing for the prospect of losing its top slugger for an indefinite period.
Wisdom injured his left ring finger while trying unsuccessfully to score shortly after his tying double in the 11th. Wisdom was in obvious pain while walking off the field accompanied by a trainer, and manager David Ross said he was scheduled to undergo X-rays.
Wisdom, who leads the Cubs with 22 home runs, drew a walk from Brewers closer Devin Williams on a 10-pitch at-bat in the ninth and scored the tying run on Nick Madrigal’s bloop single over the outstretched glove of second baseman Kolten Wong.
